Paylocity

Unify HR, Finance, and IT on one HCM platform

Visit Paylocity

Paylocity is a human capital management platform that brings HR, payroll, finance, and IT functions into one system. It addresses the fragmentation that can occur when these teams rely on separate tools, helping organizations automate manual processes, keep data in sync, and manage the employee lifecycle from recruiting and onboarding through payroll, benefits, and offboarding.

The platform includes HR, payroll, talent management, benefits administration, time and labor, expense management, AP automation, corporate cards, and headcount planning, alongside IT asset and access management. Cross-cutting capabilities include AI-assisted automation and insights, a mobile app with community features, integrations with third-party systems such as ATS, benefits providers, ERP, and identity platforms, APIs and developer resources, analytics and reporting dashboards, and automated workflows. An HR Compliance Dashboard covers I-9 verification, ACA tracking, EEO reporting, and compliance training.

Paylocity is designed for small businesses, midsize companies, and enterprises, with solutions tailored to each size. Pricing is provided through customized quotes rather than fixed published rates.
